뜻
Refers to the current week.
문화적 배경
The week is often viewed through the lens of the 'weekend' which usually starts on Friday. 'This week' often feels like it's building up to the Friday prayer. Social life is very active. Saying 'this week' for a social plan is often a polite way to show interest without committing to a specific day immediately. In Egypt, the phrase 'el-osbou‘ da' is ubiquitous. Egyptians might use it to mean 'sometime soon' in a very relaxed sense. In professional settings, 'this week' is strictly Sunday to Thursday. Thursday night is the start of the social 'week'.
Drop the 'fī'
Native speakers rarely say 'in this week'. Just say 'this week' directly as a time marker.
Gender Check
Never use 'hādhihi' with 'usbū‘'. It's a common mistake because 'week' is feminine in many other languages.
